UPDATE:

Friends, I must say goodbye to you as I have been diagnosed with severe DHMO (Dihydrogen Monoxide) poisoning. The doctor says I have to give up playing the tuba because my body just can't take it. He said that the only instruments I can play if I want to continue playing music are viola and saxophone. :(

My condolences. It is always a terrible thing when someone is diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Update from Greg:
Nothing on the schedule tonight so I am staying home with my 2 year old son. I just cooked up BACE* for dinner! We are eating like Kings.

Nasty stuff. They say it's everywhere. In our rivers, streams, the food we eat, even the air we breathe. It's amazing more people don't have your condition.

Oxymoron!

It's terrible to see such illness. Not just for the damage it does to an individual but for the pain and anguish it causes to those around him/her.

As it turns out, the VISSIM simulation of Commerce Street in San Antonio showed that it wasn't the buses that caused the 100-second cycle to overflow. It was just the long cycle. Just thought you guys needed an update. But the modeled passenger loading time doesn't consider the correlation between headway and passenger waiting times, though in San Antonio at the peaks, there are always passengers waiting at the corner of Commerce and Soledad. I suppose I should have held that back to provide you an update tomorrow.

The next task is to see if I can get phase reservice to work with dual lagging permitted left turns at Campbell and Speedway. It might be next week before I can provide an update on that.

And the WiFi at the Starbucks on E. Broadway in Tucson suddenly vanished about 20 minutes ago. I'll keep you updated on developments.

Rick, I have spent a lot of time in my life waiting for a bus at Commerce and Soledad. But I am not there at this moment. I just thought that you might need this update to update your virtual corner. Also, just to update you, I used to ride in on the 86 bus to that corner. I have to update you on this: I no longer can guarantee that the 86 route goes to this corner, nor whether the 86 route exists at all these days. I am sorry to update you with information that might have questionable shelf life as update material. But at least you have been updated and I can move on with my life.
